Fire doors, metal curtains
- Walls, partitions, ceilings, floors
- Columns, beams, load-bearing or non-load-bearing structures
- Ventilation ducts
- Cable passages, linear joints
- Glass screens, hatches, flaps
- Aeronautical parts, tunnel structures
- Naval elements (decks, ceilings, etc.)
Our equipment meets the following standardized temperature curves:
- ISO 834 / Standard Cellulose Curve : classic building fires
- Hydrocarbon Curve : applicable to hydrocarbon fires (oil, chemicals)
- RABT curve : rapid temperature rise (up to 1200°C in 5 min), suitable for automotive testing
- RWS curve : specific to fires in tunnels (300 MW)
- HCM and specific curves : according to customer requirements

For testing on walls or floors depending on the configuration of the element tested.
Combi oven / Flexy Grand Combi
- Capable of performing vertical, horizontal or angled tests
- Automatic and manual control
- Perfectly regulated pressure (tolerance ±2 Pa to 20 Pa)
- Long life of refractory masonry
- Fast repair thanks to prefabricated blocks
We use 3D modeling and analysis software like SolidWorks ou DraftSight to simulate performance before manufacturing, thus ensuring perfect adaptation to the needs of each customer.
